Meet Serena

- Comfortable with pets
I have been"professionally" babysitting since I was 12 years of age, as well as babysitting my little brother (Well, he's only 3 years younger than me, haha) since I was 9. I work from home as a Freelance Writer, but that will not interfere with working for you at all. My mother has done Home Daycare for over 10 years and I would assist her with changing, feeding, playing with, educating, and many other things when I wasn't in school. She now works as a Pre-K teacher. I have been around children all of my life and I absolutely adore them! I have a nephew that is 5 years old and I watch him every other Friday from morning until my mother gets home from work (around 4). He is the light of my life, and have helped take care of him since birth. I have previously worked at a Read more movie theater, 2 comic book stores, and as a librarian. I love to read and love to create, so I would love to incorporate those things as activities to have fun! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me. I do have a LabraDane, and have owned Cats and other animals before. I should add that I do not have transportation right now, my car broke down in March, but I am familiar with the bus routes and MetroLink, and I live on Lebanon Avenue and am able and willing to walk if necessary. I look forward to hearing from you Serena
